São Paulo edge Bragantino on penalties to reach Copinha quarters | OneFootball

São Paulo qualified for the quarterfinals of the Copinha on Saturday night (17th), after defeating Bragantino on penalties by 5 to 3, following a 1-1 draw in regular time. The match took place in Sorocaba (SP).

The match started off rough for Tricolor, who conceded a goal in the first half. At the 34th minute, Gabriel Lopes took advantage of a rebound given by goalkeeper João Paulo after a cross into the box and finished into the empty net.

The joy for the team from the countryside, however, was short-lived. Early in the second half, São Paulo managed to equalize. At the 7th minute, Lucyan received a through ball inside the box and struck firmly to score.

The goal changed the course of the game and Tricolor pressed hard, but couldn’t turn the score around. As a result, the decision went to penalties. Lucyan, Osorio, Guilherme Reis, Isac, and Gustavo Santana scored for the Morumbi club, Palacios missed, and São Paulo secured the win in the shootout by 5 to 3.

São Paulo will now face Botafogo in the quarterfinals. The match will take place on Monday (19th), with the date and location yet to be determined.
